I Love You, My Angel

Chapter 2

I step inside and enter the dark catacomb. I know the catacombs like the back of my hand, so I don't even need a light. I race through the catacombs and get to the lake that separates me from Erik.

I see the boat that Erik uses to cross the lake to get to his lair. It's there because me and Raoul used it to leave......I push the thought away and get into the boat with my suitcase. I paddle the boat to Erik's lair. Once I get there, I jump out of the boat and begin to call out to Erik.

His lair is pitch black except for the few rays of moonlight peaking through the small window.

"Erik, Erik, where are you," I call out,"I chose you, Erik. Please come out."

All of the sudden, out of the corner of my eye, I see the slightest flicker from his bedroom. The kind of flicker and lit candle makes.

I begin to walk towards the flicker, saying,"Erik, is that you?"

I stop mid step and see him. My angel, Erik, coming out of his room. I see him with his jet black hair slicked back, his snow white mask on, and in his usual outfit of black dress pants with a white dress shirt, usually neat but now wrinkled. I gaze into his, once glimmering, dull golden eyes.

I don't let him say one word. I run up to him, wrap my arms around his neck, and kiss him with every ounce of love and passion I have. He stiffens at first, but he eventually relaxes and wraps his strong, protective arms around me. His kisses are just as passionate and loving. As the kisses get more passionate, our hands begin to go everywhere. Erik picks me and carries me to his bed, never breaking the passionate kisses.

He lays me down and all of the sudden the candle flickers out, but we don't notice. Our passion takes over and soon all of our clothes are in a pile on the floor. We past the point of no return, saying things we never dared saying and exploring each other in ways we never expected.

When it was over, I fell asleep in his arms and noticed something. There was no moon. The sky was moonless.
